Mad or Genius?

I heard this story last year. A mad irishman walked across Australia with his invisible friend in a wheelchair!! he claimed his invisible friend says we have peace in the world already, it is the perception of the world is wrong. He appeared on national TV when the media heard of his journey and the invisible friend 'Harvey'. His appearance was firstly comical, but over hearing more articles during the year there seemed more to this than what meets the eye. His invisible friend was actually a combination of every human dream for peace, which of course is invisible. The wheelchair was Frank's own reminder that "I will always feel disabled if i do not believe in peace"
On top of that his walk started exactly 100 years since Gandhi started the non violent movement in South Africa 1906.
Also, Frank and Harvey were introduced to meet the Dalai lama in Canberra during his own world tour in April 2007.
Frank is mostly taken as being a lateral thinking comedian, just having a few laughs, but others have described him as being a philosopher and advocate for peace, through comedy. last update was Frank and Harvey to walk through the most dangerous areas in Israel. What do you think, mad or Genius?
Full details of his walk in Australia on this web page and TV items

Wow, crazy or not, this guy definitely has my attention now. Though I doubt he's any more insane than the rest of us. I like the way his invisible companion is represented as a man in a wheelchair, with beliefs about peace. Well of course that belief is crippled, especially today! It really sort of makes you think.. at least it does for me.
Thank you for sharing this, and oh, by the way- welcome to myLot! I hope you post more things like this in the future.

Many thanks my friend. It is just experience for me to seek for the true inspirational stories that many media people ignore.
It was a pleasure to read your response.
